Smart Planet Technologies, a packaging technology company with innovations in packaging materials engineered for improved recyclability, has joined the growing How2Recycle Label program.
Smart Planet Technologies will be using the label on various paperboard food packaging such as folding cartons and takeout trays. These packages are made using EarthCoating technology, an alternative to a traditional 100 percent polyethylene barrier coating, which will allow most of the packages to carry the How2Recycle "Widely Recycled" Label. This indicates that over 60 percent of the U.S. has access to recycling this packaging, which traditionally would not be the case for this type of food packaging with a 100 percent polyethylene coating.
In addition, Smart Planet Technologies will be an advocate for the How2Recycle program among its clients.
